Chapter 164: Blandness and Anger
The storm finally came, and Dongri swept away the Budi clan with a thunderbolt, including all the officials associated with him, and began to be investigated and liquidated one by one.** The people in the house were panicked, and everyone chose to draw a line with him for the former minister of military aircraft.
Tuscon and Gragia knelt outside the palace gate for a whole day, but the emperor had no intention of seeing them. It wasn't until Polu brought them an edict from the emperor that the two of them were completely dead.
Every day, officials are arrested by the Bauhinia Guard, because of the loyal protection, this sharp knife hanging above the heads of hundreds of officials is becoming more and more domineering, but no one dares to say a word, just because of the tragic battle that night, they proved their worth with blood.
Originally, I thought that the Governor of Bauhinia Wei would be rewarded again, after all, his contribution this time was not insignificant, if he hadn't decisively ordered the whole army to support, the current palace might have become a different scene.
It's a pity that it turns out that this hard-working young nobleman may be unlucky this time. Because the emperor not only did not say anything, but issued a decree to deprive him of his position as the governor of the city and the army.
Originally, this matter did not attract too many people's attention, but the news that came from the Bauhinia Guard almost confirmed that David Mo must have made some move to anger the emperor this time.
According to some of the lower-ranking officers of the Bauhinia Guard, the recent series of arrests no longer required the Governor's approval, and the Inspector of the Bauhinia Guard began to be in charge of matters such as Polu, and the Governor had not been to the Bauhinia Guard's Yamen headquarters since that night.
In addition to the arrest of officials at all levels, the hottest topic is undoubtedly the conjecture about David Mo's situation. Many people even speculated privately that this top magnate who had not shown up for many days was very likely to have been controlled by the emperor.
What happened next seemed to confirm this speculation. The third duke of the empire, the commander of the third division, and the minister of the Bauhinia Guard, Mo Dawei, submitted a resignation to the Military Aircraft Department, expressing his thoughts of retirement in earnest terms.
However, the emperor has not replied to him for the time being, and it is precisely because of this subtle attitude that people cannot guess what is happening. Many departments that had been rectified by Bauhinia received the news, and they all secretly claimed that they were about to applaud, but for the time being, no one dared to fall into the ground.
As the so-called name of a person and the shadow of a tree, the long-term iron-blooded policy has allowed David Mo's prestige to be based in the hearts of every official. There were even some speculators, who went to the court as soon as they learned the news, saying that they could not do without Wu Mu, and asked the emperor not to approve this resignation.
At a time when all kinds of voices were in the dust, there was a unique conversation in the palace, David Mo and Yale XIII monarchs and ministers, but this time he did not kneel, but only stood proudly on the main hall.
"Sure enough, it's getting more and more presumptuous, and I don't even bother to do basic worship...... It seems that you have already premeditated the matter of submitting your resignation. ”
Yale XIII's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he already felt that something was abnormal from David Mo's resignation. Today, I summoned him to interrogate, and when I saw that he had this attitude, I knew even more in my heart.
David Mo's body stood upright, and he no longer had the flattering attitude of the past, he was not nervous in the face of the emperor's questioning, and replied lightly: "Your Majesty has long thought about how to deal with me, but Your Majesty has lost a lot of losses, but Your Majesty has turned a blind eye, and now it is even more openly let Bolu challenge my prestige. ”
Hearing his unabashed answer, Yale XIII was furious, but at the same time, a trace of doubt rose in his heart. He knew that David Mo had always been bold, otherwise he would not dare to lead his troops to attack the Fourth Division. But he is definitely not a reckless person, and even if he is really disheartened, he will not be so disrespectful.
"The necromancer besieged the palace once, can it still shake the foundation of my Yale family?! You don't have to forget who you're talking to, no matter what I do with you, I'm the emperor of this country!" His face had gradually turned a little blue, and no courtier had ever dared to talk to him like this.
David Mo shook his head slightly, now that he had made his words clear, he had nothing to scruple about, this high-ranking emperor had already disappointed him the moment he chose to flee the palace.
"It is because I once respected you that I still call you Your Majesty. That's why I took the hot potato of Bauhinia Guard.
Originally, I wanted to wait for the breakthrough to break through the diamond level before saying goodbye to you. But things have changed, so I have to leave early. I can no longer bear the infamy of a hundred officials for you, are you a little disappointed?
In fact, whether it is Polu or the Chengguan army, I have never paid attention to any of this. Because I have always believed that the monarch I follow, he is a super strong man of extraordinary courage!
Unfortunately, on the night when the Necromantic besieged the palace, I happened to see you abandon your warriors and escape. From that moment on, your image in my mind collapsed in an instant, and you are no longer worthy of my follow......"
By the end of his voice, his tone became more and more flat, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. He was no longer willing to spend any more energy with Yale XIII.
Yale XIII had a deep sneer on his face, and he mocked: "I didn't expect you to have so-called ideals and beliefs, and I am not worth following?!
Do you know the situation at that time? If I hadn't left, if the Roman Empire was in ruins today, and the Roman Empire was eyeing it, had you considered the consequences of the matter? Do you really think that I was leaving for myself? If I hadn't left, where would I have left the people of the world?!
The imperial power is shaken, the flames of war are raging, and the people are displaced, this is your ambition? You are still young and do not understand many things, and I can tell you clearly that the kind of thing you insist on is not an ideal, but its essence is selfishness!"
Hearing his justification, David Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This emperor who loves to play with power has brought too many disasters to this country. But he never wanted to listen to the persuasion of others, and still insisted on doing his own thing.
He didn't bother to say anything, the events of that night were just a fuse, and after seeing the suffering of the world, he had already become disheartened with the emperor.
"You've seen the resignation, and I don't have anything more to say. Please take care of yourself......, Your Majesty," he said, and prepared to turn and leave.
Yale XIII's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: "What kind of place do you think this place is? After staying in Bauhinia Guard for so long, you should also know the laws of the imperial court, and what you have done today has already violated the crime of great disrespect!"
His voice fell, his hands slapped twice in the air, and the palace gate of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, only to see that the guards had surrounded the gate, and several people who looked like guards were the first to rush into the main hall, and dozens of long knives behind them flickered, and they came straight to David Mo.
David Mo glanced at them coldly, and a nine-foot spear flashed with a cold light in his hand, and he said lightly: "One step forward is death!"
His gentle words deterred the guards in front of him, because the killing intent in his eyes was chilling, and the prestige he had cultivated in the court for half a year had already made people feel afraid of him.
Seeing that he still dared to resist, Yale XIII sneered: "What you can't do, it seems that I did indulge you a little in the past!" A nine-star long sword flashed out of his hand, and the entire hall was covered by his coercion, and David Mo couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"This sword is cut down, even if you and I are gracious, for the sake of the past, maybe I can still hold a beautiful funeral for you!"
The moment the sword light fell, a middle-aged man flashed in front of David Mo, his face was slightly frosty, he didn't put this sword in his eyes at all, and directly turned his fighting spirit into a long sword, which lightly resisted the attack of Yale XIII.
"You are not qualified to say such things to my master! This is my punishment for you!"
As his words fell, the white light on the long sword flickered, his arm shook slightly, and a powerful sword aura flew towards Yale XIII. Hearing only a "boom", Yale XIII was knocked out in its entirety, and the screen behind him was instantly shattered, falling to the ground and rolling twice, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
The guards were stunned by this scene, and no one expected that such a powerful enemy would suddenly appear. What's even more unbelievable is that this middle-aged man actually called Wu Mugong the master?!
Yale XIII's face was a little embarrassed, he slowly stood up from behind the screen, and walked to the high platform with some staggering steps, even if he was defeated, he still had to maintain the dignity of a king.
Coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, he leaned over and sneered, "No wonder...... I really didn't expect you to have this kind of opportunity...... The Holy Light-level powerhouse who defeated the demon girl that night should be him. ”
He obviously misunderstood, but David Mo didn't want to explain, he just said lightly: "Are you still going to stop me from leaving now?" The corners of his mouth rose, with a little disdain on his face, and he pressed towards the guards step by step, but no one dared to stop him.
Finn felt a little helpless in his heart, he had just ignited a trace of fighting spirit. I had to leave a sentence coldly: "Next time I see you so disrespectful, it won't be as simple as a lesson!" and hurriedly turned around and left with David Mo.
Yale XIII's eyes flickered, his face cloudy, and he watched the figures of the two of them completely disappear from view. (To be continued.) )
